Under the leadership of Health Minister Vishwajit Rane , Goa has officially entered the malaria elimination phase , with an ambitious target to be completely malaria-free by 2025–26 . And honestly, it’s inspiring to see how a small state is taking such big, bold steps in public health.

But there’s another story unfolding—one that’s not making party headlines but is changing lives in a far deeper way. Goa is undergoing a silent healthcare revolution , and it’s something every Goan (and every Indian) should be proud of. New Buildings, Bigger Dreams Let’s start with the future doctors of our state.
